Trade/Proprietary Name: Common/Usual Name: Classification Name: Midas Rex Legend System Surqical drill motors with accessories Pneumatic cranial drill motors for neurosurgery (HBB) Surgical drill for Ear, Nose & Throat (ERL) Surgical Ear. Nose & Throat bur (EQJ) Pneumatic motor for orthopedic surgery (HSZ) Pneumatic motor for general surgery (GET) Pneumatically powered saw (KFK) Powered simple cranial drills, burrs, and accessories (HBE) Blades, saw, surqical cardiovascular (DWH) ### 3. Predicate Device: The Medtronic Midas Rex Legend System is substantially equivalent to the Midas Rex Classic and Midas Rex III Instrumentation Systems, and the Mednext 1000 Bone Dissecting System. ### 4. Intended use of the device The Medtronic Midas Rex Legend System is a pneumatically operated surgical instrument system. The pneumatic motor provides power to operate removable rotating surgical cutting tools and their accessories intended for use in neurosurgery, including craniotomy and spinal surgery; as well as Ear Nose and Throat (ENT), orthopedic, and general surgical applications including maxillofacial, craniofacial and sternotomy surgeries. {1}------------------------------------------------ K02 0069 2/2 ### Description of the Device 5. The Medtronic Midas Rex Legend System is a modular, pneumatic, highspeed instrument system consisting of a motor (handpiece) and accessories/attachments, including but not limited to adapters, spindles, burrs, drills, cutters, and other dissecting tools. ### Summary of the technological characteristics of the device 6. compared to the predicate device. The intended use of the Medtronic Midas Rex Legend System have not changed to the intended uses of the Midas Rex Classic, Midas Rex III, and Mednext 1000 systems. The modified device and the predicate devices have the same technological characteristics, the same operating principles, use the same patient contacting materials, and have similar performance characteristics. These systems utilize a high-pressure gas source (either air or nitrogen) to power the motors and drive the cutting tools for use during surgical applications. ### 7. Testing Performance testing on the Medtronic Midas Rex Legend System confirms that the device operates as intended, and is substantially equivalent to the Midas Rex Classic, Midas Rex III, and Mednext 1000 Instrumentation Systems. ### 8. Conclusions Based upon the testing and comparison to the predicate devices, the Medtronic Midas Rex Legend System performs as intended and raises no new safety or effectiveness issues. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
